A term coined originally in Liverpool to group together a certain type of person through their clothes, language and ideals.

The male 'scally' can be easily recognised through his clothing and language used. Hair is to be short and thickly gelled, often accompanied by a cap (Burberry preferably) tilted at a 45 degree angle. Gold jewelly is a must, curb chains and bracelets mainly, but the sovereign ring must also be taken into account. A small hooped earring never goes amiss. Tops must be slightly baggy and carrying a latest brand name (at time of writing Henri Lloyd is popular). Polo shirts (Hackett) are also a popular motif of the scally, coupling heavy branding with an ability to lift the fold-over collar up around the neck. Tracksuit bottoms are the desirable trouser of choice, often being rolled into sport socks. Trainers must be worn (except on nights out where loafers become king). Reebok Classics or Nike Air Max are still the reigning style, although Adidas County trainers are becoming seen more widely. Transport comes from 'suped-up' cars which are often between 10 and 20 years old. The lower to the floor, the better. Swearing is a common factor of scally language, along with monoslylaabic terms, possibly due to the dropping out of education before GCSE's could be taken.

The female scally is often seen with a much older male scally. Hair is scraped back and heavily hairsprayed. Limitless amounts of make-up cover any blemishes, and the look is finsihed off with big hooped earrings. Clothes wise, tracksuit tops and tracksuit bottoms or jeans are preferred, along with the mandatory trainers. VPL always helps. Smoking and a young baby in a second hand pushchair are good accessories.

To find a scally, your best bet will be to parade the local big shopping mall, the local nightspots or, especaiily in seaside resorts, the main parade along the beach where numerous scally cars can be seen circling round, and round, and round...

Otherwise known as a 'Trendy'. I don't find them tredny, i find them a bunch of twats who all descerve to die. Often found on street corners, shouting abuse at anyone who dares to cross their path. Their victims include old people, moshers, and well anyone who isnt a scally and they tend to get their 'massive crews' to beat each other up anyway, their such happy people. The fashion is normally some form of sports label, Reebok, Adidas, etc etc which is pretty stupid since they don't do any form of sport unless you count running from a stolen car or chasing a retreating victim a sport. The female scally is often seen with skirts riding up their arses or not there at all and caked up orange faces, closely resembeling an oompa loompa. Well, i don't wish to waste anymore of my time ranting about these gayasses as its a big waste of time.

A friend to us all as his minket pathetic existence makes us feel really good about ourselves until the wee bastard lobbs a bottle of buckfast over yer napper and his two wee mates called wee tam and big wullie chav the stereo out your motor as you lie bleedin to death in the gutter, sippin the last vestiges of life and buckfast bfore all goes black he shouts the immortal hey mister goona geeza a ciiggy man! Aye right ye wee fuck.

Scallys (or Radgies in geordieland) are young'uns who wear sportswear and 9 carat gold jewellry by the ton. They dress sort of like a wigga, but more downmarket (Ghetto Ridiculous). On a wiggaey note, scallys adopt as many Jamaican slang and mannerisms as possible, though any true yardie would kick their asses all the way back to Toxteth/St Anns/Moss Side/St Pauls wihtout breaking sweat. Not all scallies are mobile phone stealing, fight starting car theives... but from what I know from living in a genuine scummy tower block - most mobile phone stealing, fight starting car theives are scallys. Scally language is guttural english of the worst kind, but it's very (annoyingly) easy to pick up, innit. Female scallys breed young, and call their offspring Chantelle. They also wear earrings you could drive a bus through.

The pinnacle of the scally is the dealer (Same as, but more expensive sportswear, a BMW with chrome alloys and lots of drugs to sell). The scally mode of transport is the stolen car. The scally music is.. whatever bland RnB/Pop/smooth rap is in the charts that week, or anything that sounds Jamaican.

a large group of young male scallies can be found shouting either abuse or sexual harrasment to female passers by. in a large group their laughter is inaudable but when a single scally becomes alone they are quiet and subdued. scallies all seem to know one another and groups are defined by the colour of their tracksuits (usually scallies only own one or two 'trackies' at most)

A british term used by working and middle classes to define someone who wears branded sports clothing and will typically act in the "gang mentality". Usually, this will refer to a male betwixt the years of eleven and nineteen (there are exceptions) who is exoteric, loud, condescending and "up with the birds". Scallies will typically indulge themselves in a world of material things, as a front.

Their groups will stick a non-distinct, but recognisable code of dress (so as to assume that everything they do is for the group, as opposed to for the individual). Usually, they are athletic and physically dominant. While scallies can be of any class, the average is high working class or lower middle-class.

Scallies intimidate those who are seen as a threat. They are interested in whatever is in style, and contemporary, as opposed to long-standing institutions.

Contrary to what you may believe, hating "scallies" does not qualify one for intellectualism, nor does it make you "individual". By defining words on a website as a group, do you really think that you are any better than them?

Owning a Nirvana album does not assert any superioir musical taste or ability, nor can it be defined as "real music", because all music is real.

Thus concludes another session fo bitching at the non-exoteric "moshers", and the annoying as fuck "scallies".
